Coming off a season where they unceremoniously finished 13th, revived under Tony Pulis, a new season of gut and grind awaits, and it could be a tumultuous one. The West Brom squad is continuously in flux, but this season there’s a healthy amount of continuity.

A defensively sound squad added Rickie Lambert to bring some finishing ability to a group that lacked creativity, and James Chester from Hull City adds depth and experience to an already packed back line.

With 20 goals across all competitions last season, West Brom managed to hold onto its 21-year-old star. Despite his youth, Berahino is vitally important to the club as its only recognizable star player in a squad of under-the-radar workhorses. With Rickie Lambert now on the team, it could allow Berahino to work in a more creative role, but they’ll need his flair up front once again.

The club scored 38 Premier League goals last season – fifth least in the English top flight – and nearly half those came from Berahino. He’ll need help next year if he wants to repeat those numbers.

Last Season: 13th in the Premier League – Just four wins before the Christmas break meant Alan Irvine got the axe, and the club brought in Tony Pulis to replace him. The club finished the season strong, including a 3-0 win over Chelsea in the second-to-last week. They managed a 13th-placed result, typical of a West Brom side used to mediocrity.

Coach’s Corner: Tony Pulis is well-known along the Premier League stage. Known for his defensive propensity and a love for the long-ball, you know what you’re going to get from Pulis. Love him or hate him, he’s likely one of the strengths of this squad. He is known for a hard-nosed style, which fits West Brom perfectly.

PST Predicts: If Saido Berahino can repeat his goalscoring season, and he can provide for Lambert, West Brom will stay away from the drop. However, Lambert must prove he’s still useful at 33 years old, and the midfield needs some kind of creative spark. It’s easy to see this squad in the bottom three at the end of May.

The Yanks’ road swing begins with a visit to the 28th ranked Danes, a side headlined by Christian Eriksen and Nicklas Bendtner. Denmark went 3W-4L-2D in 2014, and were 2-2 inside its borders.

Scotland vs. Northern IrelandManchester United’s Paddy McNair could make his full debut for the visitors, who also boast Premier Leaguers like Jonny Evans and Chris Baird. Gordon Strachan’s hosts will have Chicago Fire midfielder Shaun Maloney in the fray.

Germany vs. AustraliaTim Cahill won’t be on hand as the Socceroos head back to Germany in the hopes of working some friendly magic after the side’s big win at the 2015 AFC Asian Cup. The reigning World Cup champs are prepared to roll out some unusual starters, and Manuel Neuer could be saved on the German bench.
